One player has played in 6 Super Bowls. Defensive lineman Mike Lodish played in 4 with the Buffalo Bills and 2 with the Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Don Beebe played in 4 with the Buffalo Bills and 1 with the Green Bay Packers but was on injured reserve in 1997 when the Packers went to their 2nd straight Super Bowl.

The longest pass play in Super Bowl history was a 85 yard touchdown pass from Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme to WR Muhsin Muhammad in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The longest running play was a 75 yard touchdown run by Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker in Super Bowl XL.

The longest interception return was a 100 yard TD return by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison in Super Bowl XLIII. That was also the longest play in Super Bowl history. The longest fumble return in Super Bowl history was Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackle Leon Lett’s infamous 64 yard fumble return in Super Bowl XXVII. Lett fumbled the ball back to the Bills right before he reached the end zone when wide receiver Don Beebe came from behind to knock the ball loose.

The longest field goal in Super Bowl history is a 54 yard field goal from Buffalo Bills kicker Steve Christie in Super Bowl XXVIII. The longest punt in Super Bowl history was a 63 yarder by Cincinnati Bengals punter Lee Johnson in Super Bowl XXIII.

The Super Bowl has never gone into overtime.

The 49ers are 5-0 all-time in the Super Bowl. They are looking for their 6th Super Bowl win which would tie them for the most all-time. The Steelers are 6-2 in the Super Bowl all-time.

The Ravens are 1-0 in the Super Bowl. Their only appearance came back after the 2000 season when they defeated the New York Giants 34-7. Ray Lewis was the MVP of that Super Bowl.

Joe Montana has won Super Bowl MVP 3 times, more than anyone in Super Bowl history. Colin Kaepernick will try to join Montana and Steve Young as a Super Bowl MVP starting quarterback for the 49ers. In all but one of the 5 previous Super Bowl wins for the 49ers has the starting quarterback won the game’s MVP.
